Before & After Photos

Mr. St-Laurent, a resident of Compton, Quebec, grappled with basement humidity issues. Turning to the internet for a solution, he discovered our website, which offered various remedies for basement moisture. Encouraged, he completed our request form. Promptly, we reached out to him, scheduling a complimentary quote and inspection. Our specialist, Jorge, conducted a thorough assessment of the troublesome basement. He proposed a solution comprising 153ft of WaterGuard interior basement drain, CleanSpace vapor barrier, a TripleSafe sump pump system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and 40ft of SilverGlo insulation. Accepting Jorge's proposal, Mr. St-Laurent agreed to the installation date. Foreman Felix journeyed to Compton on the appointed day to commence the work. Initially, he installed the TripleSafe™ sump pump in a pit. Subsequently, he excavated a trench along the basement walls and laid the WaterGuard. Then, he applied SilverGlo insulation and the CleanSpace vapor barrier to cover all basement walls. Finally, he installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, connecting it to the sump pump, and filled all trenches with cement. With the dedicated efforts of our team at Basement Systems Quebec, Mr. St-Laurent can now bid farewell to worries about basement humidity.

Water was infiltrating in the joint between the floor and the wall in this basement in Bon-Conseil.

The floor under the floor slab was getting wet, which was evaporating and moistening the concrete, leaving traces. When traces of water are visible, it is because the water has found a way to penetrate your basement.

We solved the problem by installing an interior waterproofing solution consisting of an inside drain that we install on the perimeter of the foundation on the footing, as well as a sump pump system that evacuates the collected water far from your home.

Below you can find the before and after pictures of this job.

To repair a crack in a concrete wall effectively and permanently, it is necessary to use a product that will not harden and crack again. When this crack is not a structural problem, we seal it with a product called FlexiSpan.

First, we plug the crack with urethane to block water infiltration and close the crack. Then, the first sealant of polyurethane ether foam is applied to drain the water that is found inside to the dry well.

Finally, the FlexiSpan sealant is made of polyurethane and is a gray color. It is a product that once affixed, becomes rubbery. This allows the crack not to let the water penetrate the basement even if it increases with time. The well is closed to finalize the project.

Another dry basement and a repaired crack!

PROBLEM

Persistent humidity in the basement is causing unpleasant odors, and mold stains are beginning to appear. Structural issues may arise if no action is taken in the near future.

SOLUTION

As planned, we began by installing the WaterGuard drainage system. The drain is placed on the foundation footing, away from mud and dirt to prevent clogging. Infiltrated water will be directly captured by the drain, thanks to the protruding lip that directs water from the walls directly into the system. Next, we installed our SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a reliable and high-performance 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump, a pump liner, a sealed lid, a CleanPump support, and a WaterWatch alarm. Finally, we connected our interior drain to a discharge line that will lead water outside. This discharge line includes our patented IceGuard system, designed to prevent the risk of flooding in case the line freezes during cold periods.

A client residing in Saint-Georges-De-Windsor, Quebec, was facing alarming issues within his basement. In fact, there were multiple cracks visible from the inside, as well as water infiltrations. Client had also an old sump pump which was clearly inadequate. In addition, the excess humidity has resulted in the joists being weakened, thus compromising the house's foundation. We combined our systems for basement waterproofing and foundation repair to tailor a perfect solution that will provide long term protection: Our patented WaterGuard internal drain was installed, linked to our SuperSump sump pump system. Next, we installed CleanSpace Wall to regulate the excess humidity. Lastly we installed our powerful galvanized steel PowerBrace beams to support the joists and thus to prevent any structural damage. Client was satisfied with this wonderful transformation in his basement, knowing he will have peace of mind as our system are protecting his house.
